PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
--------
A. OVERVIEW. International Controls Corp. ("ICC, Registrant or the
Company") is a holding company and its business is conducted by its operating
subsidiaries. Through its subsidiaries, the Company is engaged in four major
lines of business. Through Great Dane Trailers, Inc. ("Great Dane"), the
Company manufactures a full line of truck trailers for the over-the-road
tractor trailer long and short haul market and containers and chassis for
intermodal shipping. Checker Motors Corporation ("Checker") and its
subsidiary, South Charleston Stamping & Manufacturing Company ("SCSM"), are
major manufacturers of sheet metal stampings for automotive and light truck
and van components and subassemblies, primarily for General Motors
Corporation ("GM"). The Company, through its Yellow Cab Company division
("Yellow Cab"), is currently the largest owner of taxicabs and provider of
taxi-related services in Chicago, Illinois. American Country Insurance
Company ("Country") underwrites property and casualty insurance, including
taxicab insurance, workers' compensation and other commercial and personal
lines.
The Company was incorporated in 1959 under the laws of the State of
Florida. On January 1, 1989, the Company's continuing operations consisted
solely of Great Dane's truck trailer manufacturing operations. On January
11, 1989, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of
Checker. Immediately following the acquisition of Checker by the Company,
Checker Holding Corp. ("Holding"), a privately-held company owned by
substantially all of the former shareholders of Checker, acquired all of the
outstanding capital stock of the Company (the "Holding Buyout").
Subsequently, Holding was merged into the Company. The Holding Buyout has
been accounted for as if Checker acquired the Company (a "reverse
acquisition"), since there was no significant change in control of Checker.
B. INFORMATION CONCERNING INDUSTRY SEGMENTS. Certain financial data
with respect to Registrant's industry segments appear in Note N of Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements and are incorporated herein by reference.
As of December 31, 1993, the Company employed a total of 5,055 people.
The chart below details the number of persons employed as of that date in
each of the Company's industry segments:

C. NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS.
TRUCK TRAILER MANUFACTURING. Great Dane designs, manufactures and
distributes a full line of truck trailers and containers and chassis. In
1993, Great Dane, the largest truck trailer manufacturer in the United
States, accounted for approximately 12.7% of the new truck trailer market,
11.7% of the new van market, 11.9% of the new platform trailer market, 38.0%
of the new refrigerated van ("reefer") market and 23.4% of the market for
intermodal containers and chassis. Great Dane sells its trailers primarily
through a nationwide network of branches and independent dealers to gain
access to smaller, less price sensitive customers. The Company believes it
offers the largest line of trailers in the industry and works closely with
customers to customize products to their specific needs. Great Dane strives
to stay at the forefront of the industry in the design and development of new
and improved products.
In addition to manufacturing, Great Dane's business includes a parts
sales operation, sales of used trailers acquired mainly in trade-in
transactions, and retail services (including repair and maintenance) which
enable it to be a full service provider. The parts and service operations
are less sensitive to the economic environment mitigating the impact of the
cyclical product lines.
Late in 1991, Great Dane hired new operating management to implement
several important strategies designed to position Great Dane to take
advantage of both expected industry growth in the trailer market and the
expansion of the intermodal container and chassis market. As part of this
strategy, Great Dane adapted certain of its manufacturing facilities to
enable it to fill orders for high-volume purchasers without sacrificing its
ability to cater to the special needs of its many smaller customers. In
addition, Great Dane broadened its network of distributors and branches,
initially focused on the Southeast, to develop a nationwide presence and to
expand Great Dane's businesses into Canada and Mexico, thereby increasing its
access to trailer customers, as well as providing new outlets for its parts
and services business, which is less vulnerable to economic downturns and
produces higher margins. Great Dane believes it currently has the largest
marketing organization in the trailer industry.
Furthermore, during 1992, Great Dane's engineering department, working
in conjunction with J.B. Hunt Transport, one of the largest truckload
carriers in the United States ("J. B. Hunt"), developed a unique line of
intermodal containers and matching ultra lightweight chassis, which allows
Great Dane's customers to take advantage of new double stack intermodal
shipping methods, the most economical method of hauling freight over long and
intermediate distances. Great Dane's intermodal containers are designed for
use on rail but may also be transported over the road on chassis to and from
rail yards. In connection with an approximately $125 million initial
purchase order from J. B. Hunt for these new intermodal products, Great Dane
installed new assembly lines within three existing factories and initiated
production for the order in early 1993. Great Dane has, subsequently,
received an additional order of approximately $48 million from J. B. Hunt.
Although J. B. Hunt's requirements for these containers and chassis will
level off, Great Dane believes that intermodal transportation will provide
growth opportunities as other carriers replace some or all of their trailers
with containers and chassis. The Company believes that Great Dane, which has
also manufactured refrigerated containers for others, is well-positioned to
maintain a substantial share of the new and growing intermodal market.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>3
Great Dane's headquarters are located in Savannah, Georgia, and its
manufacturing is performed in Savannah, Georgia; Brazil, Indiana; Memphis,
Tennessee; and Wayne, Nebraska. These plants include assembly lines for the
various types of trailers and containers and fabricating departments which
produce from raw or semi-finished material the components used in the
assembly of its products other than those items requiring machine shop or
foundry work and except for certain components, such as brakes, tires,
wheels, rims, axles, landing gear and springs, which are purchased as
finished items.
The national truck trailer market is fragmented and competitive due to
the relative ease of entrance (with the exception of the higher technology
refrigerated trailers). There are approximately 180 companies in the truck
trailer manufacturing industry. In 1993, the two largest companies, Great
Dane and Wabash National Corporation, accounted for approximately 24% of the
market and the ten largest companies accounted for approximately 65% of
sales. The basis of competition in the truck trailer industry is quality,
durability, price, warranties, service and relationships. Due in large part
to the quality of its products and its strong distribution system, the
Company believes that Great Dane has built sustainable competitive advantages
in each of these important areas.
Management believes its "Great Dane" trademark, which identifies all of
its products, to be of value and to contribute significantly to the wide
acceptance of its products.
Truck trailer and container backlog was approximately $365 million at
December 31, 1993, and $259 million at December 31, 1992. The increase in
backlog is attributed to the previously discussed dry freight containers and
chassis order and increased orders for truck trailers.
AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS OPERATIONS. Through SCSM and the Partnership, the
Company is currently engaged in the fabrication of various sheet metal
components and subassemblies, including automotive doors, roofs and hoods,
primarily for light trucks and vans, which tend to have longer model lives
and less frequent design changes than passenger cars. Through the purchase
of SCSM in 1989 and the expansion of that facility's press lines, the Company
acquired a modernized stamping facility covering an area of more than 900,000
square feet. SCSM presently has the capability to produce virtually any
automotive stamping product, carrying out substantially all phases of the
project under one roof. SCSM holds GM's "Mark of Excellence" award and The
Chrysler Corporation's "Quality of Excellence" designation.
The automotive operations' primary customer is GM, which has,
historically, accounted for more than 95% of this segment's revenues.
Management is, however, increasing its efforts to broaden its customer base.
The effect of that effort is evidenced by the expansion of the customer base
to include Freightliner Corp. ("Freightliner"), Ford Motor Company ("Ford"),
and the Chrysler Corporation ("Chrysler"). In addition, the automotive
segment recently received a letter of intent from Mercedes-Benz for products
which, subject to the execution of final documentation, are currently
scheduled for shipment commencing in 1997.
Shipments of customers' orders are made on a daily or weekly basis as
required by the customers. GM provides an estimated 13 week forecast for
material and fabrication planning purposes. Nevertheless, changes in
<PAGE>
<PAGE>4
production by the customer may be reflected in increases or decreases in
these forecasts.
The fabrication business is highly competitive and SCSM and the
Partnership compete with numerous other industrial manufacturers, as well as
with the in-house capabilities of its customers (i.e., GM). The failure to
obtain future orders from GM could have a material adverse impact on SCSM
and/or the Partnership despite the fact that the Company is expanding its
customer base. The automotive products industry is experiencing increased
pricing pressure from GM which is continuing its aggressive measures to
reduce its operating costs, including obtaining significant price reductions
from suppliers. Although opportunities for new business may arise as a
result of GM's pressure on other suppliers and, while the Company believes
that it has adequately provided for any price reductions which may result
from discussions with GM in near-term financial plans, future earnings of the
automotive products operations may be materially adversely affected by
additional price reductions requested or required by GM.
VEHICULAR OPERATIONS. Yellow Cab is the largest taxicab fleet owner in
the City of Chicago and, as of February 1, 1994, owned approximately 2,370 of
the roughly 5,400 taxicab licenses ("medallions") available in Chicago.
Yellow Cab leases its medallions and its owned vehicles to independent, non-
employee taxi operators pursuant to two programs; the owner-operator program
and the daily-lease program. The owner-operator program relieves Yellow Cab
of vehicle maintenance and repair costs, as well as the cost of housing and
storing a large fleet. The Partnership and affiliated entities also provide
a variety of other services to taxi drivers and non-affiliated medallion
holders, including insurance coverage and repair and maintenance services.
Pursuant to a 1988 agreement with the City of Chicago to settle various
lawsuits, Yellow Cab is required to relinquish to the City of Chicago and not
renew 100 taxicab licenses on January 1 of each year through 1997 (the
"Agreement"). In addition, the Agreement limits to 100 per year the number
of new licenses that the City of Chicago may add to the total medallions
outstanding through 1997, bringing the total number of available licenses to
a maximum of 5,700 on December 31, 1997. At the required surrender rates,
assuming no additional medallions are sold by Yellow Cab, Yellow Cab would
hold approximately 2,070 medallions after January 1, 1997, or approximately
36% of the maximum total then-to-be outstanding.
The scheduled decline in the number of licenses allowed to be held by
Yellow Cab pursuant to the Agreement has had, and will continue to have, a
negative effect on the revenue-generating capability of the taxi leasing
operations. Yellow Cab has been able to offset these declines to some extent
through increases in the average lease rates charged to its customers. At
the same time, as the number of medallions held by Yellow Cab declines,
Yellow Cab will require fewer new vehicles to support its taxi leasing
operations and, consequently, a lower level of capital spending.
The Agreement has also had the effect of allowing the Company to
purchase and sell licenses in the open market for the first time since 1982.
In 1993, sales of these licenses have been recorded at prices of
approximately $38,000 per medallion, and the prices realized by Yellow Cab
have been consistent with the prices realized in license sales by other, non-
affiliated, medallion holders. Although the value of Yellow Cab's fleet of
vehicles is reflected on the Company's balance sheet, the significant value
of its medallions is not.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>5
Although Yellow Cab is the largest provider of taxicab related services
in Chicago, it faces competition from a number of other medallion owners who
lease medallions and vehicles to independent operators. The most significant
of these competitors are Flash Cab Company, American United and Abernathy.
Yellow Cab management believes that each of these competitors owns
approximately 150 to 200 medallions, although each competitor operates under
a variety of individual cab service names and logos.
Yellow Cab currently maintains liability insurance coverage for losses
of up to $350,000 per occurrence, as well as an "excess layer" of coverage
for losses over $600,000 and up to $29,000,000. The initial $350,000 layer
of insurance is issued by Country. See "Business--Insurance Operations."
During several periods in the past, Yellow Cab did not maintain the level of
coverage that Yellow Cab currently maintains for any losses over $350,000 per
occurrence. As a result, there are currently nine outstanding claims against
Yellow Cab for which it is not fully covered by third-party insurance.
Yellow Cab maintains balance sheet reserves totalling $3 million for these
claims. Management believes that these reserves will be sufficient to cover
its outstanding claims.
Yellow Cab's operations are regulated extensively by the Department of
Consumer Services of the City of Chicago which regulates Chicago taxicab
operations with regard to certain requirements including vehicle maintenance,
insurance and inspections, among others. The City Council of Chicago has
authority for setting taxicab rates of fare. Effective January 18, 1994,
rates of fare increased by 10%. However, lessors may increase the rates paid
by lessee drivers by not more than 2.8% until April 1, 1994, and thereafter
may not raise such rates at all without the consent of the City of Chicago.
The City of Chicago is required to establish rules before April 1, 1994,
pursuant to which they will hold hearings on any proposed rate increase.
INSURANCE OPERATIONS. Country, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Partnership, historically concentrated solely on underwriting affiliated taxi
liability, collision and workers' compensation insurance. During the past
seven years, however, Country has expanded its operating focus to include
underwriting non-affiliated personal and commercial property/casualty lines.
During 1993 and 1992, 67% of Country's total premium revenue was attributable
to nonaffiliated property and casualty lines.
Country is one of the few voluntary providers of taxi liability
insurance in the industry. Most insurers which have previously written taxi
insurance coverage on a voluntary basis experienced poor underwriting results
and have withdrawn from the business. Management believes that Country's
longstanding relationship with Yellow has provided it with a stable market
for this type of coverage and has enabled it to develop a comprehensive
understanding of the business and to assess more properly the associated
risk.
The taxicab liability coverage which Country writes carries a $350,000
limit of liability for each driver. In addition, Country makes collision
insurance available to licensees and owner-operators at premium rates which
are favorable relative to the rates charged by competitors for equivalent
coverage. Country also writes full lines of commercial and personal property
and casualty insurance for risks located in the City of Chicago and the
surrounding metropolitan area. With the exception of a specialty public
transportation program, which program policies are reinsured for amounts
<PAGE>
<PAGE>6
above $350,000, all non-affiliate policies are reinsured for amounts above
$150,000.
Country is domiciled in the State of Illinois and is a licensed carrier
in Michigan, as well as being admitted as an excess and surplus lines carrier
in 36 other states. To the best of management's knowledge, Country is in
compliance with all applicable statutory requirements and regulations.
Country is currently rated "A" by A. M. Best Company.
LABOR RELATIONS. Approximately 286 employees in the Company's
automotive products operations, 295 in the Company's truck trailer
manufacturing operations and 63 in the Company's vehicular operations are
covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Partnership entered into a
new contract with the Allied Industrial Workers of America, AFL-CIO, Local
682 in Kalamazoo--currently known as Local Union No. 7682 of the United
Paperworkers International Union, AFL-CIO--which expires in May 1996. The
Partnership is party to a contract with D.U.O.C. Local 777, a division of
National Production Workers of Chicago and Vicinity, Local 777 which expires
in November 1995. During February 1993, Great Dane Trailers, Tennessee,
Inc., a subsidiary of Great Dane, negotiated a new contract (expiring in
January 1996) with Talbot Lodge No. 61 of the International Association of
Machinists and Aerospace Workers. In general, the Company believes its
relationship with its employees to be satisfactory.
COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PROVISIONS. The Company
believes that future compliance with federal, state and local provisions
which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into
the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment,
will have no material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings and
competitive position of the Company.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
-----------------
EXECUTIVE LIFE LITIGATION. By order of the Superior Court of Los
Angeles County on April 11, 1991 (the "California order"), the California
State Insurance Commissioner was appointed conservator (the "Conservator")
for Executive Life Insurance Company ("ELIC"), a limited partner in the
Partnership. By letter dated May 20, 1991, Checker and the Partnership
advised ELIC and the Conservator that the appointment of the Conservator
pursuant to the California Order constituted an "Event of Default" under the
Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (the
"Agreement"), and that, therefore, ELIC's rights under the Agreement and
interest in the Partnership were altered. More specifically, Checker and the
Partnership asserted that ELIC's rights, as of April 11, 1991, were limited
to the right to receive a payout of its capital account, calculated as of
that date, in quarterly installments over approximately a 23-year period. By
letter dated June 28, 1991, the Conservator notified Checker and the
Partnership that he did not accept the position set forth in the May 20
letter.
On July 8, 1991, Checker and the Partnership filed suit against ELIC and
the Conservator in the Delaware Chancery Court for New Castle County. In
that action, Checker and the Partnership sought a declaratory judgment that
they had properly invoked the provisions of the Agreement relating to an
Event of Default and that they are not in violation of the California Order.
In addition, they sought an order declaring that ELIC has no further interest
in the Partnership or any rights under the Agreement, except the right to
receive its capital account, with interest, as provided in the Agreement, and
that Checker and the Partnership have no additional liability or obligation
to ELIC. Checker and the Partnership sought to enjoin ELIC from taking a
position inconsistent with their interpretation of the Agreement.
On September 10, 1991, ELIC and the Conservator moved to stay or dismiss
the complaint in the Delaware action. On February 13, 1992, the judge
granted the motion to dismiss on the basis that Checker's action constituted
a "claim" under the Uniform Insurers Liquidation Act, as adopted in Delaware,
which could not be brought in the absence of an ancillary receiver for ELIC
having been appointed in Delaware. On September 14, 1992, the portion of
this opinion which would have required Checker and the Partnership to bring
their action in California because no ancillary receiver had been appointed
for ELIC in Delaware was modified. The Delaware Supreme Court held that a
resident of an ancillary state could file "claims" with either the ancillary
receiver of such state or with the domiciliary receiver, thereby allowing
Checker and the Partnership to pursue their claim in a jurisdiction in which
they are resident and in which an ancillary receiver was appointed in October
1991. Checker and the Partnership have now filed a claim against ELIC in
Michigan.
On March 4, 1992, the Company received a copy of the Conservator's
filing in California of an Amendment to its Application for Order of
Conservation adding Checker, the Partnership and Checker Holding Corp. III as
parties (the Checker Entities") to its original order and seeking (a) damages
in an unspecified amount for their alleged "forfeiture" or ELIC's partnership
<PAGE>
<PAGE>9
interest, their breach of fiduciary duties, and their interference with the
conservatorship proceedings and waste of conservatorship assets and (b) a
declaration of ELIC's rights under the Agreement. The Company made a limited
appearance in California to dispute the jurisdiction of the court over the
Checker Entities. On June 10, 1992, the California court ruled that the
Checker Entities are subject to jurisdiction in California. The Checker
Entities filed a Petition for Writ of Mandate and Request for Temporary Stay
of Proceedings in the Court of Appeal of the State of California, Second
Appellate district, and a hearing on the Petition was held on November 5,
1992. On February 24, 1993, the court denied the writ. On March 11, 1993,
the Checker Entities filed a Petition for Rehearing based on their belief
that the Appellate Court's opinion was predicated upon omissions of material
facts and misstatements of material facts, which Petition for Rehearing was
denied by the court.
The Company has offered to redeem ELIC's interest in the Partnership and
South Charleston Stamping & Manufacturing Company for $32 million. The
Conservator has not yet responded to the offer.
BOEING LITIGATION. On February 8, 1989, the Boeing Company ("Boeing")
filed a lawsuit naming the Company, together with three prior subsidiaries of
the Company, as defendants in Case No. CV89-119MA, United States District
Court for the District of Oregon. In that lawsuit, Boeing sought damages and
declaratory relief for past and future costs resulting from alleged
groundwater contamination at a location in Gresham, Oregon, where the three
prior subsidiaries of the Company formerly conducted business operations. On
December 22, 1993, the Company entered into a settlement with Boeing,
settling all claims asserted by Boeing in the lawsuit. Pursuant to the
settlement terms, the Company will pay Boeing $12.5 million over the course
of five years, $5 million of which has been committed by certain insurance
companies in the form of cash or irrevocable letters of credit. In
accordance with the settlement agreement, Boeing will move to dismiss its
claims against the Company and the three former subsidiaries and will release
and indemnify the Company with respect to certain claims.
CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Within the past five years, Great Dane
and Checker have entered into certain consent decrees with federal and state
governments relating to the cleanup of waste materials. The aggregate
obligations of Great Dane and Checker pursuant to these consent decrees are
not material.
In May 1988, the Company sold all of the stock of its subsidiaries,
Datron Systems, Inc. ("Datron") and All American Industries, Inc., and in
connection therewith agreed to indemnify the purchaser for, among other
things, certain potential environmental liabilities. The purchaser asserted
various claims for indemnification and had commenced litigation in
Connecticut with respect to alleged contamination at a manufacturing facility
owned by a former second-tier subsidiary. The court denied one of the
purchaser's claims and another was dismissed. The balance of the claims for
reimbursement of monitoring and clean up costs were dismissed without
prejudice and the Company is discussing with the purchaser the resolution of
approximately $625,000 in claims previously submitted by the purchaser for
cleanup and monitoring costs at the facility, as well as its responsibility
for future costs. The Company does not believe that its obligations will be
material. The purchaser has also put the Company on notice of certain other
alleged environmental and other matters for which it intends to seek
<PAGE>
<PAGE>10
indemnification as costs are incurred. The Company does not believe that its
obligations, if any, to pay these claims will be material.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL.
From the time that present management assumed control of the Company in
January 1989, it has been continually reassessing the Company's financial
condition and prospects. During March 1990, Great Dane obtained a loan
commitment of $80 million. A substantial portion of the loan proceeds was
utilized to repurchase, in the open market, a portion of the Company's
outstanding 12-3/4% Senior Debentures due 2001 (the "12-3/4% Debentures") and
Subordinated Discount Debentures due January 1, 2006 (the 14-1/2%
Debentures"). During September 1992, Checker Motors Co., L.P. (the
"Partnership") entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with a bank
pursuant to which the bank provided a $30 million term loan. Approximately
$18 million of the proceeds from the loan was used to repay certain
indebtedness of a subsidiary of Checker, which debt had been guaranteed by
the Partnership, and to pay certain costs associated with the financing and
repayments.
The Company was hampered in its efforts to achieve a refinancing of its
debt in recent years, in part because of certain litigation arising out of
alleged groundwater contamination at a location where three prior
subsidiaries of the Company formerly conducted business. That lawsuit has
now been settled. See "Business--Legal Proceedings--Boeing Litigation." The
Company has also been engaged in litigation with the Conservator of ELIC, a
limited partner in the Partnership, seeking, among other things, a
declaratory judgment regarding ELIC's rights in the Partnership. See
"Business--Legal Proceedings--Executive Life Litigation."
With the settlement of the Boeing litigation and negotiations in
progress to settle the Executive Life Litigation, the ability of the Company
to achieve a successful refinancing has been enhanced. Accordingly, in
February 1994, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with
the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with an overall
refinancing of the Company's outstanding indebtedness. The proposed
refinancing, as described in the registration statement, involves the Company
entering into a credit facility consisting of a $60 million term loan and a
revolving credit facility which would provide up to $115 million, subject to
the Company's ability to meet certain financial tests (the term loan and the
revolving credit facility being known as the "New Credit Facility").
Additionally, the Company is proposing to offer $265 million (adjusted from
$225 million) of new Senior Secured Notes (the "Senior Notes"). If the
refinancing is successfully completed, the proceeds from the new Credit
Facility would be utilized to redeem substantially all of the currently
outstanding indebtedness of the Company's subsidiaries and the proceeds from
the offering of the Senior Notes would be used to redeem parent company
indebtedness and to redeem the Minority Interest held by ELIC, in each case
together with any accrued interest and transaction fees and expenses. A
successful completion of the refinancing, the terms of which are still
subject to change, is expected to help the Company achieve increased
liquidity from reduced principal debt amortization requirements, the removal
of certain restrictions on the use of cash from the Company's subsidiaries
and more flexible and efficient cash management at the holding company level.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>13
FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES.
Available cash and cash equivalents, cash flow generated from operations
($30.7 million, $25.2 million and $37.8 million for the years ended December
31, 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively), proceeds from borrowings and proceeds
from disposal of assets have provided sufficient liquidity and capital
resources for the Company to conduct its operations.
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS
No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pensions." The impact of adopting SFAS No. 106 was a charge to net income of
$29.7 million (net of taxes of $16.5 million) which was recorded as a
cumulative effect adjustment in the quarter ended March 31, 1993.
The Company also adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes," effective January 1, 1993. The impact of adopting SFAS No.
109 was a charge to net income of $16.9 million which was recorded as a
cumulative effect adjustment in the quarter ended March 31, 1993.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1993, the Company adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 113, "Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of
Short Duration and Long Duration Contracts." Because of the type of
insurance contract Country provides, the adoption of this statement had no
impact on earnings; however, it requires the disaggregation of various
balance sheet accounts. For financial reporting purposes, the 1992 balance
sheet and 1992 and 1991 statements of cash flows have been restated as if
SFAS No. 113 were adopted as of the beginning of the earliest period
presented.
While the adoption of the above SFAS's has a significant effect on the
Company's financial position, it does not adversely affect liquidity and
capital resources.
The Company is a holding company and is, therefore, dependent on cash
flow from its subsidiaries in order to meet its obligations.
Purchases of property, plant and equipment have averaged approximately
$18.0 million per year over the past three years and have been funded
principally by cash flow generated from operations as well as proceeds from
disposal of assets. Purchases of property, plant and equipment for 1994 are
anticipated to be approximately $26.0 million and are expected to be funded
principally by cash flow generated from operations.
During the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company entered into a settlement
of the Boeing litigation (see "Business--Legal Proceedings--Boeing
Litigation"). It is anticipated that the settlement ($12.5 million over five
years) will be paid by the Company through recoveries from insurance
carriers, the sale of assets of certain of the subsidiaries, cash currently
on hand and cash flow generated from operations.
GM, a major customer of the Company's automotive products segment, is
resorting to many measures, including obtaining significant price reductions
from its suppliers, in an effort to reduce its operating costs. Management
of the Company's automotive products segment is currently engaged in
discussions with GM concerning future pricing of parts presently being
manufactured. Automotive products segment management believes that it has
adequately provided in its near-term financial plans for any price reductions
<PAGE>
<PAGE>14
which may result from its current discussions with GM. However, price
reductions in excess of those anticipated could have a material adverse
effect on the automotive products operations.
IMPACT OF INFLATION.
Recently, due to competitive market conditions, the Company has been
unable to factor all cost increases into selling prices for its products and
services. The Company does not believe, however, that the impact of
inflation affects the Company any more than it affects the Company's
competitors.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
1993 COMPARED TO 1992:
During 1993, revenues increased $192.6 million and gross profit
increased $24.7 million as compared to 1992. The Truck Trailer Manufacturing
and the Automotive Products segment operations benefited from increased
demand for their products. Truck Trailer Manufacturing revenues increased by
$175.5 million as compared to 1992, primarily due to the sale of containers
and chassis which were introduced in late 1992 and sold principally to one
customer, and a higher volume of truck trailer sales. Automotive Products
revenues increased $15.3 million as compared to 1992. Increased production
of the General Motors Blazer and Suburban models and crew cab products and
other general increases in volumes to accommodate automotive customers'
demands are the principle reasons for the increase. Vehicular Operations
revenues increased $1.5 million in 1993 as compared to 1992. The increase
was attributed to lease rate increases obtained in 1993 to cover certain
Vehicular Operations cost increases. The revenue increase was somewhat
offset by the impact of tendering medallions to the City of Chicago.
The factors impacting sales, as discussed previously, had the effect of
increasing the Company's 1993 operating profit (gross profit less selling,
general and administrative expenses) by $18.4 million as compared to 1992.
Truck Trailer Manufacturing operating profit increased by $14.8 million as
compared to 1992. This increase is principally due to higher volumes, partly
offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses ("S G & A").
Higher volumes were also the principal reason for an increase of $3.7 million
of Automotive Products operating profits as compared to 1992.
S G & A expenses were $6.3 million higher in 1993 as compared to 1992,
but as a percentage of sales, S G & A expense is 1.7 percentage points lower
in 1993 as compared to 1992.
Other expenses decreased $5.5 million in 1993 as compared to 1992. The
decrease in expense resulted primarily from $1.4 million income from the
settlement of a dispute in 1993 and $2.8 million income from sales of taxi
medallions in 1993.
On February 8, 1989, the Boeing Company ("Boeing") filed a lawsuit
naming the Company, together with three prior subsidiaries of the Company, as
defendants in Case No. CV89-199MA, United States District Court for the
District of Oregon. In that lawsuit, Boeing sought damages and declaratory
relief for past and future costs resulting from alleged groundwater
contamination at a location in Gresham, Oregon, where the three prior
subsidiaries of the Company formerly conducted business operations. On
<PAGE>
<PAGE>15
December 22, 1993, the Company entered into a settlement with Boeing,
settling all claims asserted by Boeing in the lawsuit. Pursuant to the
settlement terms, the Company will pay Boeing $12.5 million over the course
of five years, $5 million of which has been committed by certain insurance
carriers in the form of cash or irrevocable letters of credit. Accordingly,
the Company recorded a $7.5 million special charge during 1993 to provide for
the cost associated with this legal proceeding. In accordance with the
settlement agreement, Boeing will move to dismiss its claims against the
Company and the three former subsidiaries and will release and indemnify the
Company with respect to certain claims.
1992 COMPARED TO 1991:
During 1992, revenues increased $161.5 million and gross profit
increased $31.1 million as compared to 1991. The Truck Trailer Manufacturing
and the Automotive Products segment operations were positively impacted by
increased demand for their products. Truck Trailer Manufacturing revenues
increased by $136.1 million as compared to 1991, primarily resulting from a
higher volume of truck trailer sales. Automotive Products revenues increased
$28.2 million as compared to 1991. Increased production of the General
Motors Blazer and Suburban models and crew cab products for the 1993 model
year and other general increases in volumes to accommodate automotive
customers' demands were partly offset by a $6.1 million decrease in revenues
associated with the coordination of tooling programs for General Motors.
Vehicular Operations revenues decreased $2.5 million as compared to 1991.
The decrease in revenues is principally attributed to a continuing downturn
in taxicab leasing in the City of Chicago, as well as a decrease in the
number of cabs available for lease from Yellow Cab as a result of the
settlement agreement reached with the City of Chicago in 1988. The negative
trend to revenue changes for this segment could continue if the economic
environment does not improve and if the segment is not successful in
continuing to develop new sources of revenue as the settlement agreement
requires the tendering of 100 additional licenses to the City of Chicago in
each of the next five years.
The factors impacting sales, as discussed previously, had the effect of
increasing the Company's 1992 operating profit (gross profit less selling,
general and administrative expenses) by $26.3 million as compared to 1991.
Truck Trailer Manufacturing operating profit increased by $10.5 million as
compared to 1991. This increase is principally due to higher volumes, partly
offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses ("S G & A").
Higher volumes were also the principal reason for an increase of $15.9
million of Automotive Products operating profits as compared to 1991.
Automotive Products Operations' S G & A expenses were only slightly higher in
1992 as compared to 1991. Vehicular Operations operating profits decreased
$1.4 million in 1992 compared to 1991 due to lower revenues. While efforts
were made to reduce Vehicular Operations' operating costs through the
combination of the two taxicab operations in late 1991, the decrease in
revenues previously discussed was not fully offset by decreased operating and
sales, general and administrative costs.
S G & A expenses were $4.9 million higher in 1992 as compared to 1991,
but as a percentage of sales, S G & A expense is 2.2 percentage points lower
in 1992 as compared to 1991. Other expenses increased $0.9 million in 1992
as compared to 1991. Higher gains realized on investment transactions during
1992 compared to 1991 were offset by lower gains on sale of assets in 1992 as
compared to 1991.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>16
Interest expense was $4.7 million lower in 1992 than in 1991. The
decrease can be attributed to lower interest rates during 1992 compared to
1991 as well as lower levels of debt outstanding during 1992 compared to
1991.
There is no minority equity expense in 1992 because ELIC was placed into
conservatorship in 1991 and, as a result, its interest in the Partnership and
rights under the Partnership Agreement became limited to the right to receive
the balance of its capital account as of April 11, 1991. (See "Business--
Legal Proceedings--Executive Life Litigation.")

COMPENSATION PURSUANT TO PLANS
GREAT DANE PENSION PLAN
Great Dane has in effect a defined benefit employee pension plan
entitled Retirement Plan For Great Dane Trailers, Inc. (the "Retirement
Plan") covering substantially all of its employees. Pension benefits are
subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended,
with respect to the annual amount of benefits provided by employer
contributions.
Effective as of July 1, 1988, the assets and the liabilities
attributable to active and former employees under the Amended and Restated
International Controls Corp. Pension Plan as of June 30, 1988 were
transferred to the Retirement Plan and the Company adopted the Retirement
Plan for the benefit of its employees. With respect to benefits accruing
after June 30, 1984, to a participant who was a participant under the Amended
and Restated International Controls Corp. Pension Plan as of June 30, 1988,
the following table shows the estimated annual benefits payable upon
retirement at age 65 under the plan to specified average annual compensation
and years of benefit service classifications. The following amounts would be
reduced by a Social Security offset:

Mr. Harris has an aggregate of 24 years of benefit service under the
Retirement Plan (8 years) and the Amended and Restated International Controls
Corp. Pension Plan (16 years) and will receive benefits of approximately
$74,000 per year at age 65.
PARTNERSHIP PENSION AND EXCESS BENEFIT PLANS
The Partnership maintains a defined benefit employee pension plan
entitled Checker Motors Pension Plan (the "Pension Plan") covering
substantially all of its non-union employees, and, effective January 1, 1992,
the employees of the Company.
<PAGE>
<PAGE>21
The Partnership also maintains the Checker Motors Co., L.P. Excess
Benefit Retirement Plan (the "Excess Benefit Plan"). An employee of the
Partnership will become a participant in the Excess Benefit Plan if the
benefits which would be payable under the Pension Plan are not fully provided
thereunder because of the annual maximum benefit limitations of Section 415
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The amount that the
participant is entitled to receive under the Excess Benefit Plan is an amount
equal to the amount that would have been payable under the Pension Plan if
Section 415 did not apply, minus the amount that is actually payable under
the Pension Plan. At the present time, David R. Markin and Jeffrey M.
Feldman are the only individuals named above who would receive benefits under
the Excess Benefit Plan. Considered compensation under the Excess Benefit
Plan is limited to $300,000.
Set forth below are the estimated annual benefits for participants in
the Pension Plan (including benefits payable under the Excess Benefit Plan)
who have been employed by the Partnership and its predecessors for the
indicated number of years prior to retirement, assuming retirement at age 65
in 1993:

SALARY CONTINUATION PLAN
Checker entered into Stated Benefit Salary Continuation Agreements (the
"Agreements") with certain officers and employees (the "Salary Plan")
pursuant to which such participants will receive benefits upon attaining age

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Partnership, as the assignee of Checker, is party to an Amended and
Restated Employment Agreement dated as of November 1, 1985, as further
amended, with David R. Markin pursuant to which Mr. Markin is to serve as
President, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the
Partnership until March 31, 1996, subject to extension (the "Termination
Date"), at a minimum salary of $600,000 per annum, together with the payment
of certain insurance premiums, the value of which have been included in the
Summary Compensation Table above, and the beneficiaries of which have been
designated by Mr. Markin. Mr. Markin continues to be eligible to participate
in profit sharing, pension or other bonus plans of the Partnership. Pursuant
to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, in the event of Mr.
Markin's death, the Company shall pay Mr. Markin's estate the compensation
which would otherwise be payable to him for the period ending on the last day
of the month in which death occurs. In addition, the Company shall pay to
Mr. Markin's beneficiaries deferred compensation from the date of his death
through the Termination Date in an annual amount equal to one-third of his
base salary at the date of his death. In the event of termination of the
Amended and Restated Employment Agreement for any reason other than cause,
disability or death, Mr. Markin shall continue to serve as a consultant to
the Company for a period of five years, for which he shall receive additional
<PAGE>
<PAGE>23
compensation in the amount of $50,000 per annum. The Partnership has agreed
to indemnify Mr. Markin from certain liabilities arising out of his service
to the Partnership, except for liabilities resulting from his gross
negligence or willful misconduct. Effective January 1, 1994, Mr. Markin and
the Company memorialized in writing their agreement, pursuant to which Mr.
Markin has been compensated by the Company since January 11, 1989, on
substantially the same terms as are set forth above.
The Company entered into an employment agreement as of July 1, 1992,
with Jay H. Harris pursuant to which Mr. Harris serves as Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company until June 30, 1994,
subject to extension, at a minimum salary of $350,000 per annum, an incentive
bonus to be determined by the Board of Directors, and such other fringe
benefits and plans as are available to other executives of the Company. Upon
the happening of certain events, including a change in control (as defined
therein) of ICC or retirement after June 30, 1994, Mr. Harris is entitled to
compensation in an amount equal to the greater of (a) five percent of the
increase in the Company's retained earnings, subject to certain adjustments,
during the period commencing on March 31, 1992, and ending on the last day of
the month preceding the event which triggers the payment (the "Termination
Payment") and (b) 2.99 times the then base. If Mr. Harris were to leave the
Company before July 1, 1994, or if he were to die or become disabled, he or
his estate would receive the greater of (a) one year's base compensation or
(b) the Termination Payment. Payments in either case would be made over a
period of time, the length of which would be dependent on the amount due to
Mr. Harris. Mr. Harris has agreed to serve as a consultant to the Company
during the first year after termination for no compensation beyond his
expenses incurred in connection with rendering such services. The Company
has agreed to indemnify Mr. Harris to the full extent allowed by law.
Checker has guaranteed the Company's obligations.
The Partnership is party to an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement
dated as of June 1, 1992, with Jeffrey Feldman pursuant to which Mr. Feldman

value of which have been included in the Summary Compensation Table above,
and the beneficiaries of which have been designated by Mr. Feldman. Mr.
Feldman is eligible to participate in profit sharing, pension or other bonus
plans implemented by the Vehicular Operations division of the Partnership.
Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, in the event of
Mr. Feldman's death, the Partnership shall pay Mr. Feldman's estate the
amount of compensation which would otherwise be payable to him for the period
ending on the last day of the month in which death occurs. In addition, the
Partnership shall pay to Mr. Feldman's estate deferred compensation from the
date of his death to the Termination Date in an annual amount equal to one-
third of his base salary at the date of his death. In the event of the
termination of the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement for any reason
other than cause, disability or death, Mr. Feldman shall continue to serve as
a consultant to the Partnership for a period of five years (if terminated by
Mr. Feldman) or seven years if terminated by the Partnership, for which he
shall receive compensation in the amount of $75,000 per annum. The
Partnership has agreed to indemnify Mr. Feldman from certain liabilities
arising out of his service to the Partnership, except for liabilities
resulting from his gross negligence or willful misconduct.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
Each of Messrs. Markin, Solomon, Tessler and Thomas is an executive
officer of the Company and participates, as a director, in the deliberations
concerning executive officer compensation. During 1993, Mr. Markin served on
the compensation committee of Enhance Financial Services Group Inc.,
Ameriscribe Corp. and Data Broadcasting Corporation and Mr. Tessler served as
an executive officer of each of these companies.
As of December 31, 1993, Country holds $0.9 million principal amount of
Enhance Financial Services Group, Inc., 7% Senior Notes due December 1, 1996.
During 1993, the Company used, on a month-to-month basis, an airplane
owned by a corporation of which Mr. Tessler is the sole shareholder. The
Company pays $60,000 per month for such use.
Each of Messrs. Markin, Solomon, Tessler and Thomas provides consulting
services to Yellow Cab and each receives for such services (commencing in
January 1988) $10,000 per month. Messrs. Solomon, Thomas and Tessler also
provide consulting services (a) to Checker for which they each receive
monthly fees of $5,000 (commencing in January 1988) and (b) to Country for
which they each receive monthly fees of approximately $18,300. Mr. Markin
serves as a consultant to Chicago AutoWerks, a division of the Partnership,
for which he receives monthly fees of approximately $1,200 (commencing in
January 1988), and to Country, for which he receives monthly fees of
approximately $4,600.
Until March 1, 1993, Mr. Tessler was of counsel to Shea & Gould, a law
firm retained by the Company for certain matters.
Frances Tessler, the wife of Allan R. Tessler, is employed by Smith
Barney Shearson which executes trades for Country's investment portfolio.
During 1993, Mrs. Tessler received for her services approximately $78,000 of
the commissions paid to Smith Barney Shearson.
On September 24, 1992, American Country Financial Services Corp.
("AFSC"), a subsidiary of Country, purchased from The Mid City National Bank
of Chicago the promissory note dated July 30, 1992, made by King Cars, Inc.
("King Cars") in the principal amount of $381,500 plus accrued interest in
the amount of $3,560. On September 24, 1992, the King Cars note purchased by
AFSC was paid and a new note dated September 24, 1992 and payable on January
30, 1993, in the principal amount of $398,482 bearing interest at the rate of
6.5% per annum was executed and delivered by King Cars to AFSC. On January
30, 1993, the note was renewed in the principal amount of $407,691 with a
maturity date of May 30, 1993. On November 30, 1993, the note, then in the
principal amount of $416,524, was once again renewed, with a maturity date of
December 31, 1994. King Cars is owned by Messrs. Markin, Tessler, Solomon,
Thomas and Feldman. King Cars is a party to an agreement dated December 15,
1992, with Yellow Cab pursuant to which Yellow Cab purchases from King Cars
display frames for installation in its taxicabs and King Cars furnishes
Yellow Cab advertising copy for insertion into the frames. King Cars
receives such advertising copy as an agent in Chicago for an unrelated
company which is in the business of selling and arranging for local and
national advertising. Of the revenues generated from such advertising, 30%
will be retained by King Cars and the balance will be delivered to Yellow Cab
until such time as Yellow Cab has recovered costs advanced by it for the
installation of advertising frames in 500 of its taxicabs (approximately
<PAGE>
<PAGE>25
$78,000). The terms to Yellow Cab are the same or more favorable than those
offered by King Cars to unrelated third parties.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors
International Controls Corp.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of International
Controls Corp. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' deficit and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993. Our
audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at
Item 14(a). These financial statements and schedules are the responsibility
of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of International
Controls Corp. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related
financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material
respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Notes I and K to the consolidated financial statements, the
Company changed its methods of accounting for postretirement benefits other
than pensions and income taxes in the year ended December 31, 1993.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
INTERNATIONAL CONTROLS CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
December 31, 1993
NOTE A--ORGANIZATION
The Company has two operating subsidiaries, Great Dane Trailers, Inc.
("Great Dane") and Checker Motors Corporation ("Checker"). During 1989,
the Company purchased all of the common stock of Checker, the general
partner of Checker Motors Co., L.P. (the "Partnership), a Delaware limited
partnership (the "Checker acquisition").
Immediately after the Checker acquisition, substantially all of Checker's
former shareholders purchased, through Checker Holding Corp. ("Holding"),
all of the outstanding common stock of the Company (the "Holding buyout").
Holding was created solely for the purpose of acquiring the stock of the
Company and was subsequently merged into the Company. The Holding buyout
has been accounted for as if Checker acquired the Company (a "reverse
acquisition"), since there was no significant change in control of Checker.
Under generally accepted accounting principles for reverse acquisitions,
the net assets of Checker acquired in the Checker acquisition cannot be
revalued to estimated fair value. Accordingly, the $127.7 million excess
of the amount paid over the historical book value of Checker's net assets
has been accounted for as a separate component reducing shareholders'
equity and is not subject to amortization. The fair value of Checker's net
assets, as estimated by management, is significantly greater than
historical book value, but no appraisal of fair value is available.
NOTE B--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of International Controls Corp. and its subsidiaries,
including a wholly-owned trailer leasing company, other greater than 50%
owned companies, the Partnership and the Partnership's wholly-owned
subsidiaries, including American Country Insurance Company ("Insurance
Subsidiary"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated.
CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers all highly liquid investments,
other than Insurance Subsidiary investments, with a maturity of three
months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The
cost of inventories is determined principally on the last-in, first-out
("LIFO") method.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: Property, plant and equipment are stated at
cost. Depreciation is provided based on the assets' estimated useful
lives, principally by the straight-line method.
Estimated depreciable lives are as follows:

<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Buildings 10-40 years
Transportation equipment 2-6 years
Machinery, equipment, furniture and fixtures 3-12 years
</TABLE>
INTANGIBLE ASSETS: Intangible assets, principally cost in excess of net
assets acquired, noncompete agreements and a trademark, are being amortized
on the straight-line basis over periods of 4 to 40 years.
MINORITY INTEREST: Minority interest represents the limited partner's
allocable share of the Partnership's net assets (see Notes H and J) and the
limited partner's allocable share of net assets of South Charleston
Stamping & Manufacturing Company ("SCSM").
REVENUE RECOGNITION: Revenues from sales of trailers that are manufactured
in response to customers' orders are recorded when such products are
completed and invoiced. Finance income is recognized as other income over
the term of the finance leases by applying the simple interest method to
scheduled monthly collections. Rental income from vehicle leases is
recognized as earned. Vehicles are generally leased on a daily or weekly
basis to unaffiliated operators. Insurance Subsidiary premiums are
recognized as income ratably over the period covered by the policies.
Unearned premium reserves are calculated on the monthly pro-rata basis.
Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on a specific
identification basis and are included in the determination of net income.
DEBT ISSUE EXPENSE: Expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of
debt are capitalized and amortized as interest expense over the life of the
debt.
LOSSES AND LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSES: The Insurance Subsidiary's liability
for unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses represents an estimate of
the ultimate net costs of all losses which are unpaid at the balance sheet
dates, and is determined using case-basis evaluations and statistical
analysis. These estimates are continually reviewed and any adjustments
which become necessary are included in current operations. Since the
liability is based on estimates, the ultimate settlement of losses and the
related loss adjustment expenses may vary from the amounts included in the
consolidated financial statements.
INSURANCE SUBSIDIARY REINSURANCE: During 1993, the Company adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 113, "Accounting and Reporting for Reinsurance of
Short Duration and Long Duration Contracts" ("SFAS No. 113"). Because of
the type of insurance contracts the Company's Insurance Subsidiary
provides, the adoption of this statement had no impact on earnings;
however, it requires the disaggregation of various balance sheet accounts.
For financial reporting purposes, the 1992 balance sheet and the 1992 and

RECLASSIFICATION: Certain 1992 and 1991 amounts have been reclassified to
conform to the 1993 presentation.
NOTE C--TRAILER LEASING OPERATIONS
Great Dane, through a wholly-owned leasing subsidiary, leases trailers
under operating and sales-type leases ("finance lease receivables"). The

Interest on the $132 million face value of 12-3/4% Senior Subordinated
Debentures is payable semiannually at the stated rate. The recorded debt
discount is being amortized as interest expense over the expected life of
the debentures using an imputed interest rate of approximately 15%
compounded semiannually. Under the terms of the debentures, the Company's
payment of dividends is limited to, among other things, 50% of consolidated
net income subsequent to June 30, 1986, plus $12 million. At December 31,
1993, the Company was restricted from paying a dividend. The debentures
are redeemable at the option of the Company in whole or in part at a
decreasing premium. The debentures are subject to redemptions through a
sinking fund whereby the Company is required to make five annual sinking
fund payments of $18 million commencing August 1, 1996, with the final
payment due August 1, 2001.
Interest on the $61 million face value of 14-1/2% Subordinated Discount
Debentures is payable semiannually at the stated rate. The recorded debt
discount is being amortized as interest expense over the expected life of
the debentures using an imputed interest rate of approximately 16.7%
compounded semiannually. The 14-1/2% debentures are subject to redemption
through a sinking fund whereby the Company is required to redeem, at their
face value, on January 1 in each of the years 1997 through 2005, 7-1/2% of
the principal amount of the debentures outstanding on January 1, 1997. The
balance of debentures are due January 1, 2006. The debentures are callable

any time at their face value and are subordinated to all present or future
indebtedness of the Company not expressly subordinated to, or on a parity
with, the debentures.
The notes payable to shareholders are due September 30, 1997, or upon the
earlier payment in full of obligations under both the 1992 Partnership Loan
and Guaranty Agreement and the 1990 Great Dane loan and security agreement
and bear interest payable quarterly in arrears at an annual rate equal to
the prime rate of a New York bank (5.5% at December 31, 1993) plus 3-1/2%.
In March 1990, Great Dane entered into a five year loan and security
agreement ("Agreement") with certain banks. The Agreement made available
to Great Dane a $33 million five-year term loan and a $47 million revolving
credit line. In 1993, the maximum revolving credit line was increased to
$65 million. The amount available under the revolving credit line is based
upon the amount of Great Dane's eligible trade accounts receivable and
inventory as defined in the Agreement. The additional amount available
under the revolving credit line under the borrowing base terms of the
Agreement totaled $32.3 million at December 31, 1993. The term loan is
payable in equal monthly installments of $0.34 million plus interest at the
bank's prime interest rate (6% at December 31, 1993) plus 1-1/2%, with the
balance due in March 1995. The revolving credit line is due in 1995 and
requires interest payments at the bank's prime rate (6% at December 31,
1993) plus 1-1/2%.
All borrowings under the Agreement are fully secured by substantially all
of the Great Dane assets not pledged elsewhere. The Agreement requires
Great Dane to, among other things, comply with certain financial covenants,
and limits additional loans to the Company, limits additions to and sales
of Great Dane's fixed assets and limits additional Great Dane borrowings.
Under the most restrictive covenant, no additional transfers of funds to
the Company are available until after December 31, 1993.
During 1992, the Partnership entered into a Loan and Guaranty Agreement
with a bank pursuant to which the bank provided a $30 million term loan to
the Partnership. The term loan requires twenty quarterly principal
payments of $1.5 million, plus interest at the bank's prime rate (6% at
December 31, 1993) plus 1-1/4%, which payments commenced December 31, 1992.
The term loan is secured by substantially all of the Partnership's assets,
excluding the stock of the Insurance Subsidiary. The term loan agreement,
which is guaranteed by Checker, requires Checker to, among other things,
comply with certain financial covenants and limits additional loans to
Checker.
The equipment term loan requires quarterly payments of $0.5 million plus
interest at the bank's prime rate (6% at December 31, 1993) plus 1-1/4%.
The obligation is secured by certain machinery and equipment with a net
carrying amount of $6.5 million at December 31, 1993.
In connection with the Partnership term loan and the equipment term loan,
Checker is required to comply with certain financial covenants.

NOTE G--BORROWINGS--Continued. . .
The economic development term loan, which is guaranteed by Checker, is
payable by SCSM to the West Virginia Economic Development Authority, and
requires monthly payments of $0.1 million, including interest at 5% with
the unpaid balance due 2008. The interest rate will be adjusted in April
1998 and 2003, so as to remain equal to 75% of the base rate, as defined,
plus 1/2%. The loan is secured by certain machinery and equipment with a
net carrying amount of $25.1 million at December 31, 1993.
The installment notes are secured by the Company's finance lease
receivables and by the Company's rights under certain operating leases.
The notes bear interest at various fixed rates averaging approximately
10.9% and are payable in varying monthly installments through 1995.
Maturities of long-term debt for the four years subsequent to 1994 are as
follows: $44.4 million in 1995, $9.1 million in 1996, $54.1 million in
1997 and $19.6 million in 1998.
Interest paid totaled $39.8 million in 1993, $42.4 million in 1992 and
$43.3 million in 1991.
SCSM has a line of credit with a bank totaling $7.5 million at December 31,
1993. Borrowing under the line ($5.0 million at December 31, 1993) bears
interest at the bank's prime rate (6% at December 31, 1993) plus 1%.
The Partnership has a $5.0 million line of credit with a bank. Borrowings
under the line ($0 at December 31, 1993) bear interest at the bank's prime
rate (6% at December 31, 1993) plus 1%.
In February 1994, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1
with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with an overall
refinancing of the Company's outstanding indebtedness. The proposed
refinancing, as described in the registration statement, involves the
Company entering into a credit facility consisting of a $60 million term
loan and a revolving credit facility which would provide up to $115
million, subject to the Company's ability to meet certain financial tests
(the term loan and the revolving credit facility being known as the "New
Credit Facility"). Additionally, the Company is proposing to offer $265
million (adjusted from $225 million) of new Senior Secured Notes (the
"Senior Notes"). If the refinancing is successfully completed, the
proceeds from the new Credit Facility would be utilized to redeem
substantially all of the currently outstanding indebtedness of the
Company's subsidiaries and the proceeds from the offering of the Senior
Notes would be used to redeem parent company indebtedness and to redeem the
Minority Interest held by ELIC, in each case together with any accrued
interest and transaction fees and expenses. A successful completion of the
refinancing, the terms of which are still subject to change, is expected to
help the Company achieve increased liquidity from reduced principal debt
amortization requirements, the removal of certain restrictions on the use
of cash from the Company's subsidiaries and more flexible and efficient
cash management at the holding company level.

NOTE H--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On February 8, 1989, the Boeing Company ("Boeing") filed a lawsuit naming
the Company, together with three prior subsidiaries of the Company, as
defendants in Case No. CV89-119MA, United States District Court for the
District of Oregon. In that lawsuit, Boeing sought damages and declaratory
relief for past and future costs resulting from alleged groundwater
contamination at a location in Gresham, Oregon, where the three prior
subsidiaries of the Company formerly conducted business operations. On
December 22, 1993, the Company entered into a settlement with Boeing,
settling all claims asserted by Boeing in the lawsuit. Pursuant to the
settlement terms, the Company will pay Boeing $12.5 million over the course
of five years, $5 million of which has been committed by certain insurance
companies in the form of cash or irrevocable letters of credit.
Accordingly, no further adjustment is necessary to the $7.5 million special
charge which was recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 1993, to provide
for the cost associated with this legal proceeding. In accordance with the
settlement agreement, Boeing will move to dismiss its claims against the
Company and the three former subsidiaries and will release and indemnify
the Company with respect to certain claims.
On March 4, 1992, Checker received notice that the Insurance Commissioner
of the State of California, as Conservator and Rehabilitator of ELIC, a
limited partner of the Partnership, had filed an Amendment to the
Application for Order of Conservation filed in Superior Court of the State
of California for the County of Los Angeles. The amendment seeks to add to
the Order, dated April 11, 1991, Checker, the Partnership and Checker
Holding Corp. III, a limited partner of the Partnership. The amendment
alleges that the action by Checker invoking provisions of the Partnership
Agreement that alter ELIC's rights in the Partnership upon the occurrence
of certain events is improper and constitutes an impermissible forfeiture
of ELIC's interest in the Partnership and a breach of fiduciary duty to
ELIC. The amendment seeks (a) a declaration of the rights of the parties
in the Partnership and (b) damages in an unspecified amount. The
Partnership believes that it has meritorious defenses to the claims of
ELIC. The Partnership has been in litigation on these issues for almost
three years with each party seeking, among other things, a declaration of
its rights under the Partnership Agreement. The Company has offered to
redeem ELIC's minority interest in the Partnership and SCSM for $32
million. If ELIC's rights under the Partnership Agreement had not been
altered, net income for 1993, 1992 and 1991 would have been reported at
$0.6 million, $0.7 million and $3.3 million less, respectively, than the
amounts reported (see Note J).
In 1988, Great Dane entered into an operating agreement with the purchaser
of a previously wholly-owned finance company ("Finance"). Under the terms
of the agreement, the purchaser is given the opportunity to finance certain
sales of Great Dane. The 1988 operating agreement requires that Great
Dane, among other things, (i) not finance the sale of its products for the
first eight years and (ii) maintain a minimum net worth as defined in the
agreement. In addition, under this operating agreement, Great Dane is
liable to the purchaser for 50% of losses incurred in connection with the

realization of certain new receivables financed by the purchaser subsequent
to the sale of Finance subject to certain maximums. Failure to comply with
these requirements of the agreement would result in Great Dane having to
repay the purchaser varying amounts reducing to $5 million during the year
ending September 8, 1996. At December 31, 1993, Great Dane was in
compliance with the provisions of the operating agreement.
In addition, the Company's installment notes are payable to Finance. At
December 31, 1993, the Company was directly liable for the installment
notes and has guaranteed the realization of receivables of approximately
$4.8 million in connection with the sale of Finance and is partially
responsible for the realization of new receivables of approximately $121.3
million financed by the purchaser under the operating agreement subject to
certain maximums. In addition to Great Dane's guarantee, these receivables
are also collateralized by a security interest in the respective trailers
originally sold by Great Dane. A loss reserve of $3.1 million, for
potential losses that may be incurred on the ultimate realization of these
receivables, is included in other accrued liabilities in the December 31,
1993, consolidated balance sheet.
To secure certain obligations, the Company and its subsidiaries had
outstanding letters of credit aggregating approximately $3.4 million at
December 31, 1993, and $9.3 million at December 31, 1992, which letters of
credit were fully secured by cash deposits included in other assets in the
consolidated balance sheets. In addition, Great Dane has standby letters
of credit aggregating approximately $7.5 million outstanding at December
31, 1993.
The Company and its subsidiaries lease real estate and equipment. Certain
leases are renewable and provide for monthly rentals, real estate taxes and
other operating expenses. The Company believes that, in the normal course
of business, leases that expire will be renewed or replaced by other
leases. Rental expense under operating leases was approximately $4.8
million in 1993, $3.8 million in 1992 and $3.6 million in 1991. Minimum
rental obligations for all noncancelable operating leases at December 31,
1993 are as follows: $2.9 million in 1994, $2.7 million in 1995, $2.6
million in 1996, $2.5 million in 1997, $2.4 million in 1998 and $16.5
million thereafter.
Management believes that none of the above legal actions, guarantees or
commitments will have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position.
NOTE I--RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company and its subsidiaries have defined benefit pension plans
applicable to substantially all employees. The contributions to these
plans are based on computations by independent actuarial consultants. The
Company's general funding policy is to contribute amounts required to

During 1991, as a result of the effect of the continued economic recession
on the automotive industry, the number of active pension plan participants
in one of the subsidiaries' defined benefit plans was substantially reduced
during 1991, resulting in a $0.5 million curtailment loss.
Gains and losses and prior service cost are amortized over periods ranging
from seven to fifteen years. Other assumptions used in the calculation of

Expense related to defined contribution plans, which is based on a
stipulated contribution for hours worked or employee contributions,
approximated $0.7 million in 1993, $0.5 million in 1992 and $0.4 million in
1991.
The Company and its subsidiaries provide postretirement health care and
life insurance benefits to eligible retired employees. The Company's
policy is to fund the cost of medical benefits as paid. Prior to 1993, the
Company recognized expense in the year the benefits were provided. The
amount charged to expense for these benefits was approximately $2.5 million
in 1992 and $2.0 million in 1991. Effective January 1, 1993, the Company
adopted SFAS No. 106, "Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits
Other Than Pensions." This statement requires the accrual of the cost of
providing postretirement benefits, including medical and life insurance
coverage, during the active service period of the employee. The Company
recorded a charge of $29.7 million (net of taxes of $16.5 million), or

The health care cost trend rate ranges from 13.6% down to 5.0% over the
next 14 years and remains level thereafter. The health care cost trend
rate assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported. For
example, increasing the assumed health care cost trend rates by one
percentage point in each year would increase the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation as of December 31, 1993, by $4.0 million. The weighted-
average discount rate used in determining the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation was 7.5% at December 31, 1993.
The effect of adopting SFAS No. 106 decreased 1993 pre-tax income by $2.0
million as compared to 1992.

NOTE J--MINORITY EQUITY
On April 11, 1991, ELIC was placed in conservatorship. In accordance with
the provisions of the Partnership Agreement, the Partnership continues, but
ELIC's interest in the Partnership and rights under the Partnership
Agreement are limited to the right to receive the balance of its capital
account as calculated and on the terms set forth in the Partnership
Agreement. For financial reporting purposes, partnership earnings had
previously been allocated to ELIC's capital account based on book income
and the minority equity amount was calculated accordingly (the "GAAP
Capital Account Amount"). The Partnership Agreement, however, provides for
allocations of the partnership earnings to ELIC's capital account on a
basis that differs from book income and calculation of the minority equity
amount thereunder is to be made accordingly (the "Partnership Agreement
Capital Account Amount"). Because the provisions of the Partnership
Agreement require that ELIC's capital account be fixed and calculated as of
April 11, 1991, minority equity for the year ended December 31, 1991,
includes a $2.3 million credit representing the adjustment of ELIC's
capital account from the GAAP Capital Account Amount as of April 11, 1991,
to the Partnership Agreement Capital Account Amount as of the same date
(the "Final Capital Account"). The Final Capital Account, which totaled
$40.1 million at December 31, 1993, is being paid out in level quarterly
installments of $0.9 million, including interest at 7% per annum, through
the year 2013.
NOTE K--INCOME TAXES
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standard No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
As permitted under the new rules, prior years financial statements have not
been restated. The Company recorded a charge of $16.9 million, or $1.87
per share, during 1993 to reflect the cumulative effect of this change in
accounting principle. Application of FAS 109 decreased 1993 pre-tax income
by approximately $1.5 million primarily because of FAS 109's requirement to
record assets acquired in prior business combinations at pre-tax amounts.
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Significant components of the Company's deferred tax liabilities and assets
as of December 31, 1993 are as follows (dollars in thousands):

NOTE L--EXTRAORDINARY ITEMS
During 1991, the Company repurchased $66.2 million face value ($58.7
million net carrying value) of the 14-1/2% Subordinated Discount Debentures
at an average cost of 36% of face value. Additionally, the Company
repurchased $7.6 million face value ($6.8 million net carrying value) of
the 12-3/4% Senior Subordinated Debentures at an average cost of 40% of
face value. The resulting gain of $23.2 million on these repurchases, net
of taxes of $14.8 million, has been classified as an extraordinary item.
Upon the completion of the Corporation's 1990 federal income tax return,
management elected to treat certain extraordinary gains under an
alternative election available under the Internal Revenue Code, which
resulted in these gains, on which deferred income taxes had been provided
in prior periods, not being subject to tax. This change in estimate had the
effect of increasing the extraordinary gain and net income by $8 million in
the year ended December 31, 1991 resulting in a total gain of $31.2
million.

NOTE O--FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in
estimating the fair value of financial instruments:
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The carrying amount reported in the balance
sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair value.
FINANCE LEASE RECEIVABLES: The fair values of the Company's finance lease
receivables are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses based on
current market rates for similar types of financing.
INDEBTEDNESS: The carrying amounts of the Company's notes payable to
shareholders, Great Dane term loan payable, Great Dane revolving credit
line, Partnership term loan payable, equipment term loan, economic
development term loan and line of credit approximate their fair value. The
fair values of the Company's 12-3/4% Senior Subordinated Debentures and 14-
1/2% Subordinated Discount Debentures are based on quoted market prices.
The fair values of the Company's other indebtedness is estimated using
discounted cash flow analyses based on current market rates.

Dear Mr. Markin:
You and Checker Motors Co., L.P. (the "Partnership") (as the

Restated Employment Agreement dated as of November 1, 1985, as amended on
March 4, 1992 (the "Employment Agreement"; all capitalized terms used without

The Partnership would like to extend the term of the Employment
Agreement. You are agreeable to such an extension. Therefore, we hereby
agree as follows:
1. The term of the Employment Agreement is hereby extended to
March 31, 1996 (the "Termination Date"). On April 1, 1994 and on the first
day of each month thereafter, the Termination Date shall be automatically
extended for an additional month until either party gives the other notice of
its desire to terminate the Employment Agreement as of the Termination Date
then in effect. All references in the Employment Agreement to March 4, 1992
are hereby changed to the Termination Date as the same may be extended from
time to time in accordance with the preceding sentence.
2. In all other respects, the Employment Agreement remains
unamended and in full force and effect.
